Freshii Is Opening in Boston's Back Bay

A Chicago-based chain of healthy quick-casual restaurants is continuing its expansion into Boston, with a new location slated for one of the busiest neighborhoods in the city.

According to a job post on the Craigslist site, Freshii is planning to open somewhere in the city's Back Bay area and is now looking for their next store manager and staff. Once it opens, this will be the third location of the place to come to Boston, with the other two being on High Street in the Financial District and A Street in the Fort Point area. (These two shops are also home to Flat Black Coffee, but it is not known whether the Back Bay store will also be a collaboration with that local group of shops.)

[March 2, 2015 update: According to a Licensing Board page within the City of Boston website, the address for the new location of Freshii in the Back Bay will be 185 Dartmouth Street.]

[April 7, 2015 update: The Boston Business Journal mentions that the new location of Freshii in the Back Bay opens its doors on April 13.]

Freshii, which first started out in Toronto in 2005, now has locations in more than 50 cities and 10 countries around the world, according to its website, which can be found at http://www.freshii.com/us
